1988–2008
|
The WTA Tier I tournaments[1] were Women's Tennis Association tennis elite tournaments held from 1990 until the end of the 2008 season. Prior to 1990 the different levels of WTA tournament were referred to using the term 'Category'.[2] Two of the ten Tier I tournaments (Indian Wells and Miami) were played simultaneously with the ATP Tour Masters Series tournaments in those cities.
There were initially 6 Tier I tournaments held annually from 1990. The list expanded to 8 events in 1993, 9 in 1997 and 10 in 2004, before being scaled back to 9 for 2008.
From 2009 WTA Tour, WTA changed the tournament categories, so that majority of Tier I and Tier II tournaments from the previous season are in one category, WTA Premier Tournaments, although split into three divisions.
